just bought my first bike, 06 honda cbr600. Im a bit height challenged, when i sit on the bike im on my tippy toes. i want to lower the the bike at least 2 inches? should i get a lowering link in the rear and how should i go about lowering the front?

 

you can lower the front buying loosening the front fork clamps and pulling the up through the triple tree

 

Yes, there's lowering kits out there. Check out vortex.

Why would you buy a bike that's too tall? Generally, buy a bike that fits you, then have the suspension setup to your weight, not height.


Edit: since you're ruining the bike/geometry anyways, why not just buy smaller tyres for it? they'll lower it considerably.

 

Would a aftermarket seat help at all?

 

is this guy serious why the smaller tires idea???? also a 600 is the "smallest" sports bike one can buy.
anyway, get lowering kit or follow 01-0720's advice. good luck

 

Are you high?

VFR400, CBr125RR, Aprilia RS125, Kawasaki Ninja 250, Kawasaki ninja 650, SV650, EX500

I could keep going, or you can just go ahead and put your foot in your mouth.
